recently, the county council announced montgomery county is looking at a $71 million deficit for 2014. the county council responding opted instead to giver a $2,000 bonus to other county workers who also hadn't seen a pay increase in a few years. the pay increases for teachers, already the best paid in the region, will be offset by increases in employees' copays for doctor visits and prescription drugs, along with a $27 million surplus. a surplus that may have been more wise to spend on decreasing class sizes, which grew over the past few years because of teacher layoffs. an opportunity to improve the classroom experience for students and teachers was squandered. the county council, while it does set the county's school system overall funding, does not have the authority over determining teacher salary increases. that authority is in the hands of the board of education, and the superintendent. but maybe it's time for the county council to seek just such authority, since they act more fairly with taxpayer dollars. that's my take. let me know what you think. go to myfoxdc.com and click
